Ian,
Auterra has a nice website at
http://www.auterraweb.com/index.html.Their product includes all the necessary adapter cables for OBD-II to Palm as well as the software to gather the data. Cost is about $289. It's plug and play.
Understand though that the Dyno and ET functions does require some setup and are calculated using configurable weight, gearing, frontal area values. Also MAF sensor is expected for calculating fuel economy, but my SRT-4 doesn't have a MAF (it's calculated real-tim by the PCM) so fuel economy doesn't work for me. In fact, my Stage 1 PCM confuses the Auterra a bit causing it to decide I have OBD-I even though we know it's a OBD-II (well, hybrid OBD-II I think).
It was more convenient to write my own C# (VBA would work also) programs to make the resulting .xls files more humanly readable (charts). The Auterra product does a good job of converting the Palm Database files to Excel files after the HotSynch uploads them. As a data logger, the Auterra hard to beat as it gathers rpm, spark advance, coolant temp, o2 voltages, boost (well, manifold). Also, since the Auterra gives me real-time readings for O2 sensor voltage from both O2 sensors, I decided that I didn't need the MoPar A/F gauge and WideBand sensor I had bought, so I sold them.

Starkie,
Welcome.
It looks like you have been having fun learning the engine manerisms.
I love to read some of the data that you have puled from the PCM with the Palm.
Where did you get the software and wire to plug into the ODB Port?
I have a Tungsten Palm and a HP Pocket PC... I would love to start logging my data.
Ian
